Ingredients

• 2 pounds chicken wingettes
• 0.5 cups honey
• 0.25 cups soy sauce (low sodium)
• 0.25 cups ketchup
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 3 cloves garlic cloves (minced)
• 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons paprika
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water (cold)
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
• 2 tablespoons chopped green onions (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the chicken wingettes by patting them dry with paper towels. This helps remove excess moisture and allows the sauce to stick better.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, ketchup, unsalted butter (melted), minced garlic, ground black pepper, and paprika until evenly combined.

Step 3

Place the wingettes in the slow cooker and pour the honey sauce over them, ensuring all the wingettes are evenly coated.

Step 4

Cover and cook on LOW for 4 hours, or until the chicken is tender and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).

Step 5

Once cooked, use a slotted spoon to carefully transfer the wingettes to a serving platter. Leave the sauce in the slow cooker.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with cold water to create a slurry. Pour this mixture into the slow cooker sauce, stirring well.

Step 7

Turn the slow cooker to HIGH and let the sauce cook for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until it has thickened to your desired consistency.

Step 8

Drizzle the thickened sauce over the wingettes, ensuring they are well-coated.

Step 9

Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions, if desired, before serving.
